FYI -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: A crowdfunding campaign to build a free baseband Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2015 05:41:54 GMT From: Spacefalcon the Outlaw <falcon@ivan.Harhan.ORG> To: replicant@lists.osuosl.org Hello free phone lovers, As we all know, the baseband/modem/radio processor is the big bone in our collective throat: it is the most closed and proprietary part of every currently available phone, no matter how free the rest of the phone might be. Well, without beating further around the bush, I just started a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo seeking to change this bleak baseband situation: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/free-software-cellular-baseband My project seeks to solve the problem of the closed and proprietary baseband by producing a GSM modem module that will run 100% free firmware. And furthermore, I seek to produce such a free baseband not by creating it from scratch, but by re-creating one that was already made by someone else some years ago and later discontinued. Please read the campaign page for the full details. Thanks for reading, SF _______________________________________________ Replicant mailing list Replicant@lists.osuosl.org http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/replicant
